Tottenham's Centre-Back Could Join Inter Milan
Inter’s sporting director confirms attempts to sign Cristian Romero, the experienced centre-back who helped Argentina reach the World Cup final. Romero has made significant contributions at Tottenham, guiding them to Europa League success and playing a key role in defense.
The transfer talks are ongoing with Inter entering into discussions after bringing in new defenders like Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi for this summer’s move. With these signings, Spurs may prioritize letting Romero depart.
About Romero's Time at Tottenham
Romero joined Tottenham in 2021, making 156 appearances and playing a critical role in the club’s defensive setup over his five-year stint. He was key to guiding the team to Europa League success last season despite facing disciplinary issues.
Spurs’ Defensive Changes
The signing of Jan Paul van Hecke for £52 million from Brighton and Marcos Senesi joining as a free agent in June will bolster Inter’s defensive options. Roberto De Zerbi could aim to reshape his squad, potentially allowing Romero out.
About the Transfer Talks
Piero Ausilo, Inter’s sporting director, told Sky Italy: “It’s definitely a deal we are trying to sign with the player and the club. These things take some time but there’s definitely interest.”
